Pradesh Congress Committee chief Ajoy Kumar has demanded from the Government to take the compensation announced to the Pulwama suicide attack martyr Vijay Soreng up to Rs 50 lakh from existing Rs 10 lakh.
Addressing a press conference on Saturday, the day when the mortal remains of the CRPF man arrived in Ranchi, Ajoy Kumar also urged the government to provide all the assistance to the aggrieved family.
“The compensation declared by the Government is too little. The martyr family should be given at least Rs 50 lakh. Also the Government should ensure job to a dependent along with proper education and care to the family members and children,” said PCC president after he paid tribute to the martyr by reaching the airport.
Later in the day, the party organised an induction programme where hundreds of activists joined the Congress in the presence of Ajoy Kumar, Congress Legislative Party leader Alamgir Alam, former MP Rameshwar Oraon and several others.
“Congress does not believe just in grabbing power and instead wants to take all sections together. That is why so many persons are opting to the Congress party and want to work as per the ideology of the party,” said he.
The party under its ‘project Sakti’ felicitated those leaders and activists who had made more than 5000 members. The PCC president on the occasion appealed party workers to work hard since only 56 per cent of the polling booths in the State have so far being covered under the ‘project Shakti’.
